When using the addon, you will see that there are too many recipes listed. The extraineous recipes are copies/doubles. There is nothing you can do about it, it is because Allakhazams database is f**ked up again.
I will leave the addon as is for now, but if Allakhazam doesn't fix this problem in the next few days, I will try and fix it in the addon.

..... easyist way .... get an array of all the recipie item id's addthem in a local file ... use your script to call the info for each item id... neet huh if you wana try this i can have a list for you in a day i think ....

I've contemplated something like that, but in a database table. Unfortunately, that also implies maintenance to keep the table updated every time a new item is found or updated in Allakhazams database. I do not want to do that, I have enough other things to do

I was more thinking in the line of cleaning up the data from Allakhazam when I do the lookup. Removing all duplicates from an array is not so difficult.

is it at all possible to pull the data from other sources - Like Wowhead, or crafters tome?

yes cretting and array and stripdup or what ever the function is would work perfect... and as for updates in the game not that hard just re release and install.lib.php with new item data for your data base lol but the array check soulds better lol

Better yet : instead of created huge php language file for every possible item : why not creating an SQL table and stash every items / recipes in it.
Leave the table empty to start with.
When the addon find a "new" recipes, and they aren't "local" then make a call to Allakhazams for the lookup, and stash it in the table.

This approach will also be appreciates cheated by Allakhazam, who get hit really hard with all these massive requests ^^
ur Roster servers will handle the load also more easier : just some simple SQL requests.
No big PHP file language files to manage neither.

If troubles : make it possible to reset / empty the SQL table and also : rewrite the lookup function so it accepts more then one lookup-source (as Allakhazams now is) - if these exists.

"Just my tow cents" ;-)

I have thought about this way of working, but the only way the addon can find a "new" recipe is by searching Allakhazam. The addon is called Missing Recipes, so I need to know the recipes wowroster can't find on a character.

Sorry for not making clear that is an something quiet logic.
(I'm using the same approach with my rewrite of the actual 2.0.0 "reputations" - see elsewhere on this forum).
New recipes (or reputations for that matter) aren't known by your chars by default, except when they are learned.
I very well understood that your addons shows things that you (chars) don't know yet - and not the other way around.

So let me add this : "one in a while, let's say one in 24 hours, your addon should sync with an external reference - in this case Allakhazam (or who ever)"

This will speedup overall WoWRoster site performance.
Of course, I said "24 hrs" because I presume that Blizzard (read : Allakhazam ) will not add every day new recipes (neither reputations, my sync is ones a week).

I'll finish up my "reputations" so you can see how I implemented it.

Yeah, that sounds good... I'll have a go at it and let you know how I'm doing.

did this die out or planed for next roster release?

I haven't been working on this addon anymore for a while now. That's because I'm kinda waiting on what is going to happen with the new WoW expansion and RL is taking up most of my time as well.

Anyway, it's not dead, but it's sleeping (deeply).
